We don't have to do the math.  It's been done and redone around the world with this type of program!  In all cases, the  public gets...LESS COVERAGE, LONGER WAITS (they wait for MONTHS IN FRANCE to go to the doctor for anything and I mean anything!!!)  A lot of people die waiting to get into the doctor's office.  In some places in Canada, they have  a LOTTERY to see who can have the privilege of seeing the doctor!!


Has anyone read what has happened to the state of MA


Read some of these blurbs:


"Advocates are pressing the administration to expand the number of companies subject to a penalty for not insuring their workers, a step the administration could take without legislative approval but which would probably draw strong opposition from businesses. The penalty raised only about $6 million this year, far less than originally expected. "


REMEMBER WHAT OBAMA IS SAYING ABOUT PENALTIES?


"Kirwan said the state expects to spend substantially more for insurance subsidies than the $869 million Governor Deval Patrick proposed in his 2009 budget just two months ago, because of increasing enrollment and higher payments to insurers. In private briefings, she has told coalition members that the cost could be $100 million more, according to several who were present. "


A $100M+ shortfall and this is only the second year and it is for ONE STATE, not the entire nation!!!  Is anyone reading this stuff?
